Knitting and crocheting is a mystery to me. A fascinating mystery. And when a couple of my customers mentioned they'd love to see some beaded stitch markers available in my shops, I immediately went out to find out just exactly what a stitch marker is.

After lots of research, I understand the basic concept, but I have to be honest and say that I still don't understand the process. I'm clueless, even after reading a number of articles.

What I did learn, though, is that stitch markers are indispensable to many of those who knit and crochet.

This set here is a handful of handmade stitch markers designed from silver wire and earthy mushroom colored glass beads with mottled brown around the edge and smooth shaved pale faces. I've designed these stitch markers to be no-snag too! So there's no worries about them getting caught on the yarn while working.
